17 year old 6th Form student, Brendan Smith, was called into the Head’s office today, March 26, and given a Jack Petchey award.

Brendan gives up his free time to help run a night shelter at nearby St Antony’s Church during the weekend and is selfless and mature.

His kindness has been noted by many who are full of admiration for what Brendan does. It’s not always easy, but Brendan loves his role and is a real asset to Father John Jesus and his team of weekend carers.

Mr Halliwell explained: “If only there were more people in this world like Brendan. He is non judgemental and compassionate and deserves to be recognised for what he does. For someone so young, he really is unique.”

Brendan is deciding how to spend his award money.
